Each year, Vancouver ranks at the top of the world's most livable cities. Much of its quality of life can be traced back to its strong local agriculture sector: 25% of British Columbia's food is produced within an hour of downtown Vancouver. What may be even more telling is the strength and diversity of its home and community gardening network. It is estimated that more than 40% of Vancouverites grow food in yards, balconies, and community gardens. Click here to see a short slide show of what's "growing on" in Vancouver.
